Gibson SG Electric Guitars



Gibson Electric Guitars: Gibson SG, Part 1


Gibson offers several SG electric guitars, including standard, custom and reissue models. For those looking for a left handed SG there is only model-- the SG Standard.


Gibson EDS 1275 Double Neck




Gibson EDS 1275 Double Neck
Originally introduced as a hollowbody doubleneck model in 1958, the EDS-1275 assumed its more familiar SG-style body shape in 1962. Always one of Gibson's more esoteric models, the 1275 got its moment in the sun when Jimmy Page began using it for live performances of the Led Zeppelin classic "Stairway to Heaven." Thirty years later, Page is still the artist most closely associated with this model.








Gibson Custom Historic SG Standard

The SG Custom replaced the single cutaway Les Paul Custom in 1961. With three "Patent Applied For" humbuckers, gold hardware, multiple binding, and an ebony fretboard to go along with the new thinline body, the SG Custom maintained the standard of elegance set by the original Les Paul Custom. Now part of Gibson's proprietary new Vintage Original Spec series -- the next step in their journey toward perfection.











Gibson '61 Reissue SG

In 1961, the traditional Les Paul Standard electric guitar received a makeover that included a thinner body with sharply pointed horns and eventually a new name -- the SG. Today's reissue features the small pickguard and nickel-plated hardware of the original '61.
